​Kapil Sharma's kids Anayra, Trishaan and Krushna Abhishek's family spotted on the sets of their comedy show

The Kapil Sharma Show will soon be seen welcoming Salman Khan, Aayush Sharma and Mahima Makwana as special guests. The Bollywood stars are shooting for the show today (November 16) and they were captured by the photographers on the sets of TKSS a while ago. Interestingly, Kapil Sharma and Krushna Abhishek's family was also spotted on the sets and it were the ace comedian Kapil's kids Anayra and Trishaan who caught everyone's attention.

Kapil Sharma's daughter and son Anayra and Trishaan arrived on the sets with their mother Ginni and the photographers caught the two munchkins. This is the first time that Kapil has got both his children on the sets of his comedy show.

Kapil's baby boy Trishaan, who was born on February 1, 2021 looked super adorable in a brown and white outfit in his nanny's hand. They were waiting for his sister Anayra to arrive on the sets who came in a different car. He is a carbon copy of his famous dad.

Kapil Sharma's daughter Anayra, whose adorable videos and pictures have often gone viral on social media, looked cute in a pink dress with two ponytails.

Not just Kapil, Krushna Abhishek's family was also captured on the sets of TKSS. Krushna's wife and actress-director Kashmera Shah and his sister Arti Singh were spotted on the sets.

Kashmera Shah and Krushna arrived together on the sets and the couple complimented each other as they posed for the shutterbugs. The duo was casually dressed. Both Kashmera and Krushna looked super fit and were all smiles.

Arti Singh's transformation can't be missed in the pictures that are coming from the sets of The Kapil Sharma Show. The actress looked fab and fit in an orange floral crop top and denim. Her washboard abs and toned figure is inspiring. Looks like fitness runs in their blood.

Salman Khan came into promote his upcoming film on The Kapil Sharma Show and posed with his co-stars Aayush Sharma and Mahima Makwana. For the uninitiated, TKSS is co-produced by Salman Khan's TV production.
